Is it allowed to stream films via zoom?

I have a question, I'm going to be doing a Zoom Meeting tonight and I want to do some kind of movie night. Everyone is at home.

Can I stream the movies from Netflix?!

I have Netflix, Disney +, Amazon Prime and always pay properly.

I don't think that's allowed.
Except at Disney + there's called "GroupWatch".

Can I stream the movies from Netflix?!

No, you mustn't.

You pay to use the services. You don't pay to make the content available to others.

Why?!

Nothing is recorded

What can happen if you do it.

or Can I share it when I have the DVD.

Whether anyone takes it up is irrelevant.

You do not have permission from the rights holder to publish the film or to distribute it by technical means.

And your Netflix subscription only allows you to consume it, not to retransmit it.

How does it look when I use the original DVD and share the film with my computer. Drive is built into the computer.

Even then "you show the film". Same problem, this is not allowed with the private purchase DVDs. The purchase price does not include a demonstration license…

Yes, if the people are at my home then it is allowed or what?!

Yes, if the people are at my home then it is allowed or what?!

Yes, if you sit together on your sofa and watch the film together, then that is something different.

so are the laws. I didn't do it. I'm just telling you what it looks like because you asked. 🤷♂️

Thanks

What if I have the DVD and thereby parts the film.

According to the UrhG, only one person is allowed to do this: the author of the work, in this case the film, and then his contractual partner in the sense of UrhG https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/.../__31.html, here the company Netflix.

Because in UrhG https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/.../__15.html it says:

"(2) The author also has the exclusive right to publicly reproduce his work in intangible form (right of communication to the public). The right of communication to the public includes in particular

1. The right of presentation, performance and presentation (§ 19),

2. The right of making available to the public (Section 19a),

3. The right to broadcast (§ 20), "

Regarding number 1 UrhG https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/.../__19.html paragraph 4 writes:

(4)
The right to perform is the right to a work of the visual arts, a photographic work,
a film or representations of a scientific or technical nature
to make it publicly perceptible through technical facilities.

Netflix certainly didn't give you permission to do that. For the question of when your "demonstration" is "public", please read https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/...__15.html:

(3) The reproduction is public if it is intended for a plurality of members of the public. To
The public belongs to everyone who does not interact with the person who exploits the work or with the other persons to whom the work is perceptible or made accessible in an immaterial form,
connected by personal relationships.

According to UrhG, you are only allowed to show films that you have bought (e.g. On DVD) or rented (e.g. From Netflix) to people with whom you have at least one corner of "connected through personal relationships".

In the event of a dispute, a court called on will then decide whether the cousin of your friend's buddy is also one of them or is already part of the "public" mentioned here.

It can be different if you have concluded a contract that allows you more than what is stated in the Copyright Act, or allows you less. For example, some bar owners have a contract that allows them to present football games or the Sunday crime scene to the public.

And some DVDs say something about what you can and can't do with the DVD, and that you would have agreed to this by buying the DVD and opening the DVD case.

Thank you is a bit complicated but the answer is helpful.
